I just joined and will get right down to business! I did a quick search to make sure that I'm not being repetitive but, didn't find what I was looking for.... so I guess what I'm doing is truly unique. I'm casting a wide net for this question across the web on other forums as well.

I want to make a quilt for a California King size bed. The twist? I want to to be an overall non-traditional shape. No squares or rectangles. Another twist? I've only made one quilt before but, I will have help getting the back and binding on. And I don't really want to buy a whole lot of equipment to complete this (money honey).

I don't mind if it's not really functional. I'm making it as a gift for my husband who I have been separated from for a year because we're going through the immigration process. So, if there's a way I can fit something Indian on the quilt, that would be nice too... I might just do it in the colors though.

To get an idea of what I'm talking about, I've found this quilt on someone's blog: http://seamstresserin.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-hexagon-quilt-is-quilted.html

Not sure if this will help, but this was my first quilt as I didn't want to start with making sure all my points matched as a first quilt. It's a king size also. The first quilt, I learned the long arm process at a quilt shop. I have a long now in my house.

I am not sure, I am Sorry, but I can higly recommend Warm and Natural. They stand behind their products and are well know. There are copy-cats out there I hear, so careful. Make sure they are out of Lynnwood Wash. Good Luck to you, and Thanks Dawn of Lynnwood Washington.
